Product Description

Two bestselling novelists combine their creativity and skill for two stories threaded together by the concept of a "story jar", a place for memories and mementoes that honor and encourage mothers. In Bedford's The Hair Ribbons, a mother's love and strength is passed down to a daughter facing the same disease that took her mother-breast cancer. In Hatcher's Heart Rings, a mother and daughter learn to reach across the generation gap and ultimately accept each other with love.

The Story Jar includes letters and anecdotes about motherhood from other authors, including Jerry Jenkins, Francine Rivers, Lori Copeland, and Debbie Macomber.

The Story Jar is a wonderful book! You can hear Mrs.Halley, an elderly pastors wife share her memories as she pulls different items from a jar that all hold personal stories from people in her past. As she retells the stories, Beth, a struggling, tired mom listens & hears stories of God at work in normal peoples every day lives & till the end, she is yearning for what they had. I enjoyed this book very much & would love a series where the rest of the items are explored & more memories are told. A Story Jar, what a wonderful idea!

Francine Rivers does it again. Every book she has written is a story that can and should be used in your own life. Plus, once you pick a book of hers up, it's hard to set it down for even a quick break. She's a wonderful, spirit filled, author of God.
